Jenkins will link up with some familiar faces in the Wales coaching team having been a team-mate of Rhys Thomas, Leigh Halfpenny and Adam Jones.

“I coached with Rhys Thomas for a while at Cardiff and know him well and I played with Adam and Leigh also,” said Jenkins.

“I haven’t coached with them but there’s a few familiar faces in the coaching group.

“I’ve worked with Danny [Wilson] as a player, but not as a coach, so it’s good to know how he works on the other side of things.”

Jenkins has taken on the role Forshaw has adopted in the past two-and-a-half years.

“I’m not starting from scratch, it’s just about what tweaks I can make with the players,” said Jenkins.

“The other thing is when they come back into Wales camp, they have been at four or five different clubs. Sometimes it is a reset anyway.

“It’s about getting them comfortable with the way I want them to defend. It’s not easy for some of them because they might be used to defending in a different way.

“When I worked it out, there were only six players I hadn’t worked with before. Most of them know me, how I coach and what I want from them.”
